I'd like to share a little something personal here because I'm very excited about having just finished working in a special coaching program for single moms with Honoree Corpron.
Aside from being a bellydance event organizer, I also run a website company and juggle all the responsibilities of being a single parent. I have been a single mom for 3 years. I have a beautiful 8 year old daughter and a fantastic 3 year old son. Needless-to-say, I am a proud mamma, but as every single parent knows...being a single responsible parent can be one of the most challenging and daunting tasks. Truly, having a sick child and having to drag both kids to the grocery store at 3am for medicine while carrying the youngest one and praying you don't get thrown up on just sucks eggs.
So for the past few months, I have had the honor of working with a group of other single moms. It has been a program geared to give us the tools to feel more confident, develop our goals, and push forward despite any obstacles. Truly, it has been a real gift to meet these other women and to develop a support network of friends who really understand the challenges, inspire me to keep a positive attitude, and help me realize my own potential.
My coach is writing a book featuring our stories. Yup, the Bellydance Intensive very well may be talked about. Certainly, this program really helped me stay focused on creating such a great event and assisted me in creating resources I never knew I had. I owe a lot to Honoree, as she constantly inspires me to have more, grow more, achieve more, and be more.
She has started a blog about the book and about the program. I wanted to share it with everyone because it is my hope that there are a few other single moms out there that need to hear this stuff. And if you aren't a single mom, then quite possibly you know one. So please check it out. I'm in the photos on the bottom left.

Re: ...for the other single moms out there...
Fri, November 28, 2008 - 8:24 AMSo I thought I'd give you all an update. My coach has completed the draft of her book "The Successful Single Mom" and is editing everything this weekend....and then off to the printers it goes. The book will be back around January 16th, and she is taking pre-orders now.
On Monday morning around 9:45, she and I are going to be on our local Fox 5 show "More" to promote the book. Squee. I'm going to the salon and getting my hair cut today...hahahahah.
Wish us luck and watch me on TV if you get the chance. I'd love if someone could record it.
